Chapter 21 - The Toad Lady

Laura had to part with Holtzmann as they entered the hall . She found a seat and sat down . Looking down at her plate thinking about what has been happening this summer how her life had changed . When suddenly someone slid the chair beside her . A tall dark guy , the guy was followed shortly by Draco who took a seat across Laura . He smirked at her as she rolled her eyes at him . He kept his elbows on the table pretending to stare at Laura dreamily . The dark boy who Laura now recognized to be Zabini Blaise started laughing . Laura felt uncomfortable . She cringed her nose in disgust at Malfoy , who started laughing hard too . ' Yeah really I've never seen something as funny as this , ha ha ha .' she throws a irritated look at Malfoy as she said that sarcastically . ' Now don't be sad , love .' said Draco now pretending to be offended . Laura stood up and started to leave the place trying the to look for another seat .  ' Its okay if you sit with us .' Zabini opened his mouth for the first time . "It's okay if I sit with you ?" You were the one who popped out of nowhere and sat beside me . And now I am trying to find a seat away from you where I can sit alone in peace .' Laura said trying to hold her irritation . 'Calm down , love .' said Draco in an bored tone. 'Dont call me that .' snapped Laura . Then she settled down again . Dumbledore started with the start of the term notices . Then he introduced to the new defense against the dark arts teacher . A toad like lady dressed in pink robes . Then while Dumbledore was announcing something about the quidditch trials the toad like lady , Professor Umbridge stood up abruptly she was not much tall . Dumbledore stopped she cleared her throat "Hem hem..." Dumbledore sat down smartly as if eager to listen to the new teacher's speech . All the other teachers looked shocked as hell . Then she started in an high pitched girlish voice 'Thank you head master for those kind  words of welcome (hem hem ) It's lovely to be back at Hogwarts (she smiled revealing very pointy teeth )And see all those happy faces looking up at me . I'm sure we will be very good friends .' several students made different remarks then she started again with a little more hem hem. ( This time tho she sounded more business like ) The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance ....

.. everyone seemed to start getting restless trying hard to concentrate on the boring speech but failing . Then finally , finally she finished her speech and Dumbledore started the notices from where he had stopped .
